What this book is about
In a world where death has been conquered and Scythes hold the power of life and death, the AI Thunderhead watches a conspiracy building within the Scythehood—and narrates its own perspective with remarkable clarity about what it cannot do. Neal Shusterman's sequel to Scythe deepens its philosophical complexity while delivering a gripping thriller.
